According to multiple Swedish news sources, including Borås Tidning and Sydsvenskan, GAIS suffered a setback ahead of their Allsvenskan season opener at home against Djurgården. National team player Gustav Lundgren reportedly injured himself during the warm-up and had to withdraw from the match. Sources indicate he was in the starting lineup but left the field with support from two leaders after halting his warm-up.
The injury occurred before the match at Gamla Ullevi, and Lundgren will not play in the Allsvenskan opener. Reports mention he was involved in Sweden's decisive goal in a playoff final against Poland the previous week, which qualified the team for the upcoming World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. The exact nature of the injury is unclear, with GAIS coach Fredrik Holmberg stating to TV4 that something happened with his heel.
